Gautam Adani and associates accused of paying $265M in bribes to secure solar power contracts in India.
US prosecutors allege the Adani Group hid bribe details from American investors while raising billions for solar energy projects.
Adani Group Chairperson Gautam Adani, nephew Sagar Adani, and Azure Power executives named in the case.
Charges coincide with the 2023 Hindenburg report accusing Adani Group of fraud, causing a $150B market loss.
Adani was allegedly referred to as "Numero Uno" in encrypted communications to hide bribery schemes.
If proven guilty, Adani Group faces severe financial, legal, and reputational damage globally.
